Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Thanks for the info! 
If the visu-lite works well I will buy one immediatly.
 
ANOTHER Q: Can I use the input #6(ride) to trigger the visulite?.
to obtain: both ride and bell sounds? can they be triggered seperate 
on #6 ?)
OR must I; run the (visu-lite) only in #9/10 to achive ride & bell
seperation (2 different sounds) 

AND IF:
#6 (input) Will work for dual zone *Ride w/ Bell (seperate sounds) 
THEN:  
Can I then use #9/10 to add 2 more (seperate) crashes? 
Im figuring: CORD 1 stereo Y splitter to 2 mono plugs. 
Set #9 trigger to crash & #10 to China. 

OH PLEASE TELL ME, "Yeah, JD that will work"

Ya know, this is almost embarassing! having to ask Q:s
I have played 30 years The last 20 years being a pro....
***If you blindfolded me and handed me ANY piece (no matter how 
small) item/piece/hardware off an "Accoustic" kit I could tell you 
exactly what it was, And assmeble it together in the dark!*** 

I'm adding a few pics in your "Photos" to show my drums 
(accoustic that is) You all know what DTs look like. 

THANKS AGAIN GUYS/gals!! 
JD
